I close my eyes and listen

I close my eyes and listen.

I hear the birds chirp, just like they did a year ago.

I remember and smile.

I smile for the memories we had here, just like all the other times.

I open my eyes and see.

I watch the trees move in the breeze, just like they did a year ago.

Maybe you can stand next to me again? Just like now.

Just like last year.

The memories that were made here, I will remember 'till the end.

I take a deep breath and smile again.

All those smiles directed at me, all those glances shot at you.

Here was where we grew, where we fell in love.

Lovingly I trace the words carved into the stone. 'Forever'.

Yes, forever. And always.

I look up and see the birds fly from the trees.

Until death do us part.

I fall forward and I remember.

The way you fell a year ago.

I fall in love again.
